This will work in your browser to make a connection to the Quakenet IRC network using their in-browser script. (it connects to #simutrans, which is the official channel, in case you want to use a third-party program)

Although it may well be slow, we are starting to try and monitor the channel. In fact, as I type this, a new member happened to come into the channel, and *gasp* I'm helping them... :-)

So please feel free to come by and hang out, and let's see if this can become a more useful part of our community.
